What a phenomenal speech for American Indians! I love how this video is up on YouTube so the whole world can see & hear the words of wisdom moment of truth. Always remember to fight for your own freedom & fight for your rights to speak your mind with your own words, actions, and opinions. Where is the full story video? Rememory watching the full video when I was in elementary school (23) years ago.

Look at those sickening Senators' expressions !

It's a shame that he was talking to a board of evil men. They didn't hear one word he said.

We need more strong leaders like Russel Means to change our government, our ways of life, and fight for our rights, spiritually, peacefully, and rationally.

With this extremely insightful talk I have learned the hidden agenda of all politicians; “I’m the most important!” He’s absolutely right, that is an embarrassment. It’s supposed to be about all of us
